In convertendo by Giuseppe Belloni — Lyrics
Canticum graduum. In convertendo Dominus captivitatem Sion, facti sumus sicut consolati.
Tunc repletum est gaudio os nostrum, et lingua nostra exsultatione.
Tunc dicent inter gentes: Magnificavit Dominus facere cum eis.
Magnificavit Dominus facere nobiscum; facti sumus laetantes.

About In convertendo
Giuseppe Belloni’s In convertendo is a setting for SATTB voices of a Latin text drawn from the Psalms. As a Vesper Psalm, the text speaks of God’s restoration of Zion and the resulting joy, moving from a state of captivity to one of exultation. The composer’s music articulates this emotional journey, expressing the deep gladness that arises from divine favour. The lyrics describe a transition from weeping and sowing to joyful harvesting, a powerful metaphor for overcoming hardship and finding spiritual solace. Belloni’s SATTB arrangement likely offers rich harmonic possibilities to convey the text’s hopeful message.
